ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
On Wednesday of last week,
Leon Tucker, one of the high
school boys, was shot and painfully
wounded by a gun in the hands ol
Dan Trueblood, another school
boy. This was purely accidental
Young Trueblood was cleaning his
rifle, not knowing it was loaded
and just as Tucker came up it was1
discharged, -the ball entering his
thigh jut below the groin. The
young man was taken to a hospital
for treatment. Mr. Tucker is
from Northampton county and we
trust will only have holiday a few
days. You cannot be too careful
in handling a gun. It is generally
the gun that is not loaded that does
the damage.
OASES.

our country has gone dry,

fellow townsman, Mr. Gus J.
Pappas, who is also a member ol
Ihe Knighis of Pythias, the same

RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, Our Heavenly I-aihei
in His infinite wisdom has seen li
to call from earth the wife and com
panion of one of our members,
brother Henry L. Grant, to thai
city above wheie there will be m.
need of the sun, neither of the
moon to shine in it, for the glory of
God will lighten it and the Lamb is
the light thereof. Those of us who
have known her from childhood
can tes:ify of her Christian charac
ter and exemplary life.
Therefore, be it resolved,
1. That the Weldon M. E. Pa
raca class extend to brother Gram
our heartfelt sympathy and love in
his sad bereavement.
2. That a copy of these resold
tions be sent to the North Carolina
Christian Advocate and one given
to brother Grant and the Roanoke
News.
Respectfully submitted,
H. D. Allen,
J. U. Vaughan,
O. W. Pierce.

BASKET BALL.
Fork Union Basket Ball Team to
Play Weldon High.
Nothing preventinj, on the loca
court to day, Feb. 2nd, our higl
school basket ball team will play
the strong quint from Fork Union
Military Academy. This probably
will be the best game of the season
played on the local court.
Come out and see our boys in
action. A small admission of 25
cents will be charged to defray ex
penses. Tickets are being sold.
Come and help us win.
NATURE'S SUPREME WISDOM.
It it were not for the check that
winter interposes, vegetation would
climb skyward until we had tropi
cal jungles high in the branches ol
the forest, instead of violets and
lady slipper orchids. As it is, the
year's tender growths decay in the
wet and cold of winter, furnish
shelter to the seeds of grasses and
small woodland plants, and so fos
ter a new growth for the coming
of'spring. Even in decay there is
a purpose; in nature there is a new
beginning.
NEW DWELLINGS.
A Regular Building Boom on
the Way.
Dr. R. P. Morehead is having
material placed on the lot, known as
the Campbell lot, and will in a short
lime commence the erection of
three dwellings. Two fronting
Third street and one fronting Syc
amore street.
We learn that Mr. A. C. House
has purchased two very desirable
lots on Cedar street and will erect
a very handsome dwelling this
spring.
We also learn that Mr. A. L.
Durham will commence the erec
lion of a nice dwelling on his lot in
a short time, on Cedar street.
It is rumored that Mr. C. Foster
will build a nice residence on his
lot on Fourth street.
Mrs. Matiie Cornwall wiH soon
commence the erection of a beauti
ful residence on the corner of
Fourth and Sycamore streets.

ARI. (URLS' ANKLES GETTING
BIGGER?
Dullie Vitrden, according to the
old s )ng, had dainty little feet and
ankles--but according to the mod
ern observer, Dolly never wore
low shoes in season and out ol
season. The result was that Dol
ly's tinkles were kept neat and
trim and that the modern girl's
ankhs are gelling anything but
neat.
It tas long been the boast of ad
here us of the American girl that
nowhere on earth are there to be
four, 1 ankles as small as in this
land. It was considered a mark
of beauty in the Orient for the girl
to be able to encircle her ankle
with the fingers of one hand. This
was no trick for the average Amer
ican girl, once a day.
S nee the vogue of the low shoe
things are different. The ankles
are getting a trifle larger, and the
girls say frankly "Why not?"
They claim it is due more to the
fact that they walk more, and take
more exercise than their mothers
and grandmothers did. Which is
to blame for the larger ankles ex
ercise or low shoes?
AN OLD APPLE TREE.
There is on the farm of Mr. D.
M. Woodard, one mile west ol
Pendleton, this (Northampton)
county, perhaps ihe oldest apple
tree in the Roanoke-Chowan sec
(ion, if not in the State. Mr. Wood
ard informs us that his aunt, Nan
cy Stephenson, was born on tint
farm and if she were living woulc
be 102 years old. She told him ii
was a very, very old tree when
she could lirsi recollect. Ha
grandson, Judge Gilbert T. Sie
phenson, ot W inston Salem, cui t
limb from this tree and had a cant
made from n. This old apple tret
has borne apples every year sinct
those now living in the neighbor
hood can recollect. Roanoke

UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
One day list week Dr. W. G.
Suiter was driving on Main street,
in South Weldon, when a small
colored boy, son of Margaret Jen
kins, jumped from a wagon just in
front of the uTuchiiie, which rar
over him, breaking both legs and
four ribs. Dr. Suiier hurried the

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTOR I A
MR. A. C. ZOLLICOFFEK
Of Menders n, Passes to the
Great Beyond A Native ol
Halifax County.
Mr. A. C. Zollicoffer, one of the
leading attorneys of I lenderson
and a former member of the Slate
Senate, died in St. Luke's Hospi
tal in Richmond last Friday the
27th inst., at nine o'clock, follow
ing an operation for appendicitis.
Mr. Zollicoffer was sixty-eight
years of age.
He was a brother of our towns
men Drs. A. R. and D. H. Zolli
coffer. He went to Henderson
forty years ago from Weldon. He
was born near Weldon, where he
practiced law for quite a period.
Thirty six years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Tempie Boddie Perry
who with three sons survive him.
All the members of the family and
other friends were with him at the
time of his death.
It is with deep regret we an
nounce the death of our much
beloved friend of boyhood days.
Hisdeath is a most regreiable loss to
his community and commonwealth
and a keen bereavement to multi
tudes who knew and loved him as
a friend. He served his State with
rare talent and devotion. Political
office held no allurement for him,
although upon occasions he was
honored with positions of public
trust. But as a citizen preferring
to work with comrades of the rank
and file, he was ever zealous for
the general good and loyal to civic
righteousness.
The News and Observer in
speaking editorially of Mr. Zolli
coffer's death, says:
"There is deep regret in the
death of Hon. A. C. Zollicoffer, a
leader of the Henderson bar. A
native of Halifax county, member
of a family which had given proof
of patriotism, he moved to Hender
son forty years ago, and soon be
came one of its most influential cit
izens. His practice was large and
he was the type of the counsellor
whose judgment was relied upon
by his clients, who sought his ud
vice upon all matters thai touched
their own interests or the public
good.
Mr. Zollicoffer was devoted to
his profession in which he won
standing and distinction. Upright,
genuine, sincere, a gentleman with
out fear and without reproach, a
Christian whose faith was firm and
secure, he leaves a precious luri
itage to his family, hiscommunn.',
his State."
The funeral took place at Hen
derson Monday, the following
members of the family from ei
don, attending: Dr. and Mrs. A
K. Zollicoffer, Dr. and Mrs. D li.
Zollicoffer, Mr. and Mrs. R. S.
Travis and Mr. a'nd Mrs J II. Zol
licoffer.
TWO DEATHS.
The remains of Mrs. Blanche
anion Ponton who died ai the
State Hospital, in Raleigh, on Sun
day night, Jan. 29, were brought
to Weldon for interment Monday
night.
Her husband, L. K. Ponton who
has been in very bad health tor
several months past, died ai ihe
home of his sister, on luesd iy
morning. Both bodies were taken
to the Episcopal church and the
double funeral service was con
ducted by Rev. Charles F. West
man at 12:10 p m. Wednesday.
Mr. and Mrs. Ponton both be
longed to prominent families ol
Halitax county and have lived in
Weldon for a number of years.
Mrs. Ponton who was twice mar
ried, leaves one daughter, Mrs.
1 nomas Mahry, ol South Carolina,
and oiher relatives in Weldon and
Wilmington. Mr. Ponton leaves
a devoted sister, Miss Sallie Pon
ton, who alter his health failed,
leu Jelly nursed uud cared for him.

THE FIRST SNOW.
The Deepest Snow Fall Since
February, I8V9.
ft;,' .--'ii
Last Thursduy night it began
snowing anj snowed contiuiiiHy
until suineiinie Saiunlay night,
until tilt snow ineusu-ed about 12
indies. Ii is dotibiless the great
est siM wfull since the memorable
snow storm ol 1899. One thing
about snow in this pan of the coun
try, it doesn't last long. Afier
every snow there is very apt to be
a warm rain, and in a short time
every trace of the snow is gone.
Snow is said to be tine for Ihe
farm land -equal to a coal of fine
lertilizer, and again, it is fine for
wheat and oats. Small children
and those who are not obliged 10
brave the storm, are delighted to
see a snow stortii. As for us, we
can make out "fairly middlin"
without it.

RAISINS AND YEAST.
Have You Contracted the Latest
Disease?
Is there a new disease among us
since prohibition and the vogue
of eating for health ? "An apple
,t day keeps the doctoraway," is a
slogan popularized by national ad
vertising. Following close on its
heels was the drive made by the
raisin growers of the Pacific coast,
who have been educating the pub
lic up to eating raisins, for what
ailed ihem jnd didn't ail them.
The more recent campaign to
make yeast in edible form popuhir
is still with us.
It was the combination of the
two latter that has been respon
sible for the coining of a
new disease. A young lady of
Stillwater, Minnesota, has been a
consistent c insumer of raisins since
her childhood. Recently, to im
prove her complexion, she began
eating yeasi in cake form. When
ihe yej.si diet reached the stage of
three cukes a day ii conflicted with
her raisin diet and the combination
caused her lo visit the family phy
sician. The symptoms complained of
were a slight feeling of elation thai
was becoming more pronounced
each moment. The Dr. diagnosed
thecjse as intoxication, but on in
quiry found that no liquor had
been consumed. Further inquiry
and diagnosis brought out that
fermentation had begun inside the
young lady from Stillwater and
going on in the way ii did, alcohol
of :.uiHcient quantity to intoxicate
her was ihe result. She is contin
uing her diet but docs not eat rai
ins and yeast ai the same time.
Here is a good chance for the
writers of limericks to' tell what
happened. The first line is fur
nished free, as follows: "There
was a young lady from Stillwater."
Fill it out to suit.
